Geomath
At the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Mathematica's ability to handle complex calculations and help students visualize the results let Professor Rial teach geomathematics to undergraduate students. The graphs above show analytic solutions to the dispersion-advection equation that simulates the dispersion and transport of pollutants through an aquifer.
Mathematica helped researchers, instructors, and students visualize complex mathematical relations. Its powerful and flexible graphics capabilities made Mathematica an invaluable tool not only for the mathematical sciences but the natural and physical sciences as well.
